Getting a Library Card

Document Requirements

You will need a photo ID with your current address. If you have recently moved and your ID has not been updated, bring both your ID and a piece of business mail (such as your electric bill). Acceptable proof of current address include:

Driver’s license
Current utility bill (i.e. gas, electric, insurance)
Current tax bill
Rental or lease agreement

Creating an Online Account

Once you have obtained a library card, accessing your online account is simple:

1) Go to www.NilesLibrary.com

2) Click Catalog & Account Access
3) A new window will open. Click the person icon in the top right corner.

4) Type your library card barcode number into the box (no spaces)

5) Type in the last 4 digits of your library card number. If you would like to update your PIN, please call (269) 683-8545 ext. 101 or visit the Checkout Desk.

Residency Requirements

In-District Residents: Residents of Niles City and Niles Township are eligible for a FREE Niles District Library card.

Out-of-District Residents: You may pay for a Subscription Card that offers great value at a low cost of $35 for a whole year.

Children: Anyone under 18 years of age must have their parent or guardian apply for a card, and the adult signing for the card will assume responsibility for the child’s account. To register a child for a library card, the responsible adult must have a library card in good standing.

All students at Niles Community Schools and Brandywine Community Schools qualify for library cards, regardless of residence.

What Can I Borrow?

To ensure equal access to library materials, there are limits on how many items you may check out and how long you may hold them without renewal. In addition, late fees are charged for each day that each item is late (that’s why we’ve made renewals extra easy).

Most items are easily renewable before they are due, with the exception of movies and items on hold for another patron. Items are renewable for one check-out period.

You may renew by phone by calling (269) 683-8545 ext. 101, or in person by stopping by the Circulation Desk.
